Catch 2

So far in Catch the main character Tim, a baseball player in the making, is deciding on what he wants to do with his life. His brother Doug, went to college to play baseball, came home and is acting kind of weird in Tim’s opinion and let himself go completely. He was built and pretty much clean. Now he’s got a beard that he’s hoping he can braid soon and he has a beer belly. He doesn’t listen to the same music as he did when he came through and he seems to have an attitude about just about everything that has to do with school. Tim thinks it messed him up, college I mean, so that’s why he’s having such a hard time deciding whether to go to or not. So he’s working over the summer time at this place moving boxes to a truck like 8 hours straight with about one break when he meets this chick name Helena. His friends , the horsemen, also work there to but when the boss comes around they like zombies and don’t talk to Tim like they do when they’re not working At first him and her are like cats and dogs and say smart things or do little stupid things to each other. He overhear that her birthday is coming up on Friday of that week and decides to give her a little present to be funny. He ends up seeing her later at the bar. They chat and hang and get drunk and after that they start dating.

  1. Sounds very interesting. Is this the book that is based out of Illinois? Is it based on a true story?

  2. This book seems to be a little interesting. Just from reading your blog it seems to be one that starts off slow then picks up the interest as it goes. Books like that are hard for me to read so I will get the basic point from reading your blogs. I wonder is this book one that does the whole cat and mouse deal... you know making you play follow the leader.
